Said blogger Tim Ewert:
"For 3 delightful hours ( ... and available still via web replay) this witty
non-academic was allowed to expound upon his considerable body of
work ['Silent Cal', left, being amongst orbit of subjects tackled] in
manner which would have made ole Billy Buckley's 'Firing Line' look
truncated by comparison. Besides inanity of cranks calling-in to
expound uselessly on their cabal/plot du jour, the format is about as
stricken of artifice as my old accomodations in 'The Big House' were
plush. :) Understood programming such as such will never be Nielsen
jump-starter, but point is it does exist for the politically Jacques
Cousteau-motivated amongst us."
